...Sons of Habitués." Starting each pleasant day, David Dubinsky, grizzled chief of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, went down to the hotel pool in a flowing bathrobe, red and black sandals. Afternoons-to rest from the brief morning business sessions-he spent swimming in the surf with his 13-year-old granddaughter. Spade-bearded Jacob Potofsky of Amalgamated Clothing Workers strolled poolward in a natty blue-and-white beach jacket and Hollywoodish sunglasses. Sparking the livelier set, the Electrical Workers' Carey demonstrated fancy dives from handstands on the high board. A.F.L.-C.I.O. President George Meany appeared...

...unlike the habitués of Wall Street, those of 57th Street (and of the East 60s and "70s, to which many galleries have recently migrated) are usually just looking. With a good visual memory and a will for the work, any looker can build a splendid art museum in his own mind-where feet never tire and the lighting is good. Among New York's candidates for such imaginary museums this week were the works shown on these pages.
